A magpie brings Grandmother the last bit of cloth she needs for her quilt; unfortunately, the cloth happens to be a magician's miniature flying carpet. "Willard's delicate yet beguilingly down-to-earth prose is illustrated with wit and good humor, in a style consciously childlike in its simplicity, with lots of white space and eccentric borders that seem to pay homage to crazy quilts."--Kirkus Reviews. Full-color illustrations.
